THE WABASH COURIER. JESSE COIf ABD* EJitor. TERRE-HAUTE, SATURDAY JULY 30. 1848.

VIGO CANDIDATES.

We are authorized to stale that the Vigo Candidates will address their fellow citizens at the Court Hoose, in Terre-Haute, on Saturday the 90th inst(this day)—speaking to commence at 1 o'clock.

Before this number of the Courier shall reach one half our subscribers, the time for voting will probably have passed away. To those who may yet see this paper before the election we would say, that it would be better to hurry on and cast good votes in due time, rather than reproach themselves for neglect of duty, when it shall be too late. In reference to the election the Richmond Palladium thus speaks:

Keep it before the Peapk,

that tbe next session of the

Legislature of Indiana, is of more importance than any which will succeed it for year* to come. The election of an United Statea Senator, who will holdhis aeat for six year*, and who will conaequently be (ailed upon to vote for or asminsi the great measures shall he proposed byHmry Clay when the bim to the Executive atation. What will it a*a ine Country, if we should elect that great and em.nwt •talesman to the Prettdencr kg

?X£t'"nd dearest interests of the country were sacnftSd t£?"by» Noihin*. It will he in the power of !kfn«*t lemalature to form the political complexion of iSd^t.oneinCongreastor the next ten yeani to «£ie majority of thoee to be elected on Monday w»5k ahould belong to that party, who act upon the principle that "alPa fair in political Aa with the Senate what can the Whig party, or their president do, if the Houae of Representatives ahould be made up ot majority of locoa. We anawer nothing again. Then the election of Monda* week, ao far aa Indiana is conearned, ia almost equally important aa will be the great Presidential election of 1844. How imperative then is the call, for every Whig to do hia duty1?

THE GREAT TARIFF BILL. The Tariff Bill has at length passed the House of Representatives by a close vote— The yens and nays on this bill will be found in another column. The vote was 110 to 112. The bill is now before the Senato, awaiting the action of that body, together with the approval or veto of the President.

A call having been made in the House of Representatives, on motion of Mr. Adams, for copies of papers concerning our relntions with Mexico, a long report was mnde by the Secretn ry of State. From this it would seem that difficulties of no trifling nature are likely to effect the relutions between the two countries. The Correspondence as reported by Mr. Webster, will take loo much room for our columns. We give the two concluding letters, one from Maria de Bocanegra, and the other from Mr. Webster. They will be found in another column.

The difficulties seem to be very much the old charge, of allowing or permitting citizens of the United States, in one way or another, to aid and assist the Texians in their war with Mexico. And it seems also to be intimated that Mexico may have received some assurances of assistance or influence from England, which may contribute «o the insoonce of her tone at tfie present time.

Whether war must necessarily grow out of these misunderstandings, between Mexico and pur own country, we are not at present prepared to say.

TUB REASONS WHY.

Mr. Adams, from the Select Committee to which was referred the subject of the President's exposition of his reasons for signing the Apportionment Bill, has made a report, to which is appended the following Resolution.

wj||

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. The diplomatic correspondence which has taken place within the last few months between the United States and the Mexican republic, discloses matters of much interest.

Jtetolved, That the House of Representatives consider the net of the President of the united Statea, notified to them bv the message of iheSJtb ult., in causing his reaaona lobe depoaited in the Office o? hc Secretary of State, with the act of Congress, entitled an act lor the apportionment of the Representatives among these vers I Statea, according to the 6th census, approved and •isned by him, an exposition of hie reasons for giving to the ntd aot hia sanction, as un-warranted

by the

Constitution and Laws of the United Statea, injurious to the public interest and of evil example for thefuturt.. And this Houae do hereby aolemnly protest against the aaid act of the President, and against its ever being repeated or adduced aa a precedent hereafter.

This is a proper rebuke for the high-handed and extraordinary course pursued by the President. We regret the length of the report must exclude it from our columns at present.

The Bank whigs in Vigo county are making their followers sign a paper plwged to vote for Henry Clay in 1844- But about two hundred have been silly enough to let theee men thus use then.—Stat*Sentinel-

The above is no doubt intended to allude to the Clay Club lately formed in this place, and is a clever little specimen of the fair dealing occasionally measured out by certain locofoco Editors. We attended the several meetings organising this Club, and at present, have no recollection of any force beine made use of, to obtain signatures,excepting the" overwhelming moral force of public opinion in relation to the ruined condition of the country, and tbe causes and measures which have fed to so much distress and misery.

As to signing a paper pledged te vote for Henry Clay, we believe the words used in tbe Articles of Association, are about these, "That the members will tws all fair and honorable meant to elevate to the Chief Magistracy of the Nation, that sage patriot and statesman* H«*nry Clay, of Kentucky?* Now if this be high treason, we think the'country is evidently In great danger, as it is scarcely possible to rook in any direction, without meeting theee kind of pledges over tbe whole length and breadth of our land. -i -4

It ia stated that the Whig Post-Master at Oooperatown, New York, either haa been, or was about to be removed, and hia place to be supplied by a Van Bore® roan, notorious for having been engaged in banging and burning Gen. Harrison in effigy* The Otsego Republican confirms tbe statement aa follows: 4 "ArroumMHavr wr

sikger, in Louisville, Kentucky, for. one dollar per annum. Each number will contain sixteen royal Quarto pages, with cuts illustrative of subjects treated &c.

This would seem to be the very kind of paper which every farmer should possess sixteen pages per month of well selected matter for one dollar per annum* We have looked through the present number and were greatly interested with its contents. There are some thirty or forty original or selected articles under the various beads appertaining to agricultural business all full of instruction and interest to the Agriculturalist. We are free to recommend this publication as deserving the patronage of the farmer and public generally.

BANKRUPT LAW.

Another attempt has just been made by Mr. Benton, to introduce a bill repealing the Bankrupt law—and the Senate promptly refused permission to introduce the bill. This we presume will settle the question of any further interference with the Bankrupt law during the present session.

Ashland Club.—The young men of St. Louis are about forming a Club to be called the Ashland Club. This is a very pleasant idea for young men, and harmonizes elegantly with the real Clay Club spirit, that seems so prevalent all over the country.

George W.Cutter, formerly of Terre-Haute, and now a caudidate for the Legislature from Covington, Ky. writes the Chapmans, and scolds them prodigiously for calling him a Whig says he is a true and abiding Democrat, that he never gave a party vote when in the Indiana Legislature—reproaches himself for voting for Col. Blake, who did not deserve his vote, &c. Ate.

Governor Bogg*. who was nearly Julie a short time since, by an unknown hand, is fast recovering, and is now a candidate for the State Senate of Missouri. ^.{

We have just received copies of speeches, recently made in Congress by Messrs. White, Smith and Thompson.

Impeachment.—Having struck off a portion of last week's edition of our paper, before the mail containing the specification of charges reached us, we now republish them for the benefit of subscribers who have not seen the charges as made by Mr. Botts.^,

From the Baltimore Patriot of July

14.

The following are the charges which Mr. Botts proposes to prefer against the PrcSi dent, and which were intended to be read for information in connection with his remarks, of which a copy has been furnished to the Reporter for publication: 1st. 1 charge John Tyler with a gross u« surpcrtton of powertmd violation of la#,in'attempting to exercise a controlling influence over the accounting officers of the Treasury Department, by ordering the payment of nccounts that had been by them rejected, and threatening them with expulsion from office unless his orders were obeyod. 2d. I charge him with being guilty of a high misdemeanor in retaining men in office for months after they have been rejected by the Senate as unworthy,incom,)etent, and unfaithful, to the great detriment of the public interests, and hazard of loss to the public Treasury the Government having no security for the faithful application of the public funds passing through their hands, and he thereby defeating that provision of the Constitution which requires the advice and consent of the Senate to all nominations made by the President. 3d. I charge him with gross official misconduct in attempting, in a spirit of revenge, for a constitutional exercise of power by the Senate, in the rejection of one of his nominees to office, to remove large number of faithful and meritorious subordinate officers from the Custom-house of Philadelphia, "with whom no fault was found save thatof a supposed political preference for another, and who had discharged their duties with entire satisfaction to the collector of customs,and for attempting to substitute in their stead men having no other recommendation than that of a supposed acquiescence in his views. 4th. I charge him with the high crime and misdemeanor of endeavoring to excite a disorganizing and revolutionary spirit in the country, by inviting a disregard of, and disobedience to a law of Congress, which law he has himself sworn to see faithfully executed. 5th. 1 charge him with the high crime and misdemeanor in office of withholding his assent to lawa indispensable to the operations of Government, involving no constitutional difficulty on hia part—of depriving the Government of all legal aouroae of revenue—of assuming to himself the whole power of taxation—end of collecting duties from our citisena without the authority or a an on of a 6th. I cherge him with tbe high crime and misdemeanor of open pmtitation and profligacy in a williagneft to barter away the offices of Government, ami the principles he proteased, to obtain tbe eupprt of one of the pertiea in Congress to which be has heretofore

him with gross official misconduct, in

having been guilty of a shameless duplicity, equivocation, and faleehooo with his late Cabinet and Congress, aoch aa haa brought him into disgrace and contempt with the whole American people, which haa disqualified him from administering this Government with advantage, honor or virtoe. 8th. I charge him with aa arbitrary and despotic abuse of tbe veto power, to gratify hit personal and political resentment, with sech evident marks of iwooosistrnrj and duplicity aa leave no room to doubt his total disregard »f the interests of tbe people and of his duty to the coantry. 9th. I charge him with tbe high misdemeanor of arraying bitneeif in open hoetility to the legislative deMirtmeat of the Government, by tbe peWtcaiioo of ajanderoM and libellous letter* ander h» own signature, with a view of cresting a falee and nunsnted sympathy ior himself, and bringingCongreiaintod»repvteand odiam with the people, by which meaas tint harmony between the Exeonivawsd Legwiaitve deportments so essential to good gmrasMBt aad the welfare of the people has been *"«[^de«reyecl. 10th- I charge him with an abandonment of aaackeowledged coosntatiooaj duty, in refognt to teodCT sach aid to the cocwiteted authorities of RbodeUlafcJ.

STATE

Ma.

Editor:—I

have just

that while the voters of Vigo county ate cal on to say, at the ballot-box on Monday nexf# whether the Commissioners of this county shall receive State Scrip in payment of cousp ty taxes or not it would be well for the vote^F in the town of Terre-Haute, by some decisis means, to instruct the proper authorities fo receive the same kind of funds in payment if town tax.

The truth is, sir, it must come to this. The people will be left very soon without any other moniedmeans with which to pay their tax^fc —provide necessary supplies for their fanglies—or even pay their debts. This is a faiet that most convince any man of its truth, wgo will take the trouble to examine the subject*

Every time you see a man passing fro** door to door of our business houses enquiring for a little bankable money," you may set it down as a fact, that whatever amount that he may want is at once "retired" from circulation, and will not very soon make its appear* ance among us again. The Bank is constaqtly making her "calls," and those who owe, are making use of every possible means to obey her. The consequence is, that the small amount of bankable funds, which is now io circulation in this community is daily diminishing, and must soon disappear altogether* The Bank is paying out no money at all*# She has no inducement. have felt it my duty, (if you are willing, Mr. Editor,) to call the attention of our citi» zens to this plain statement of facts, with the hope that some measures may be promptly adopted by our citizens, in order to make State Scrip a par circulating medium among us, not only for paying taxes but for other pur»

Section 23d of that act, speaks of the penalties on the county Auditor, for failing tom port to the State Auditor, and says "which lines and forfeitures shall be for the use of the proper County Seminary.*'

The &ame Act, section 32d, says a person bidding offland for Taxes charged against it, "On failing to make payment shall forfeit and pay, a penalty of 25 per oentum on said tux, for the use of the County Seminary.

In the "Act for the election of a County Assessor apprqved Feby. 10, 1841," section 11th says, "that suit may be brought on tbe Assessors bond, either for the use of JfejMjgtl per county Seminary or any person injured," &C, &C» *„Y.

OPENING THE CANAL TO DEFIANCE. We learn with much gratification that Capts. Mahon and Swinney have made a trip to Defiance during the present week, and that the event was celebrated by the citizens of our sister town with much hilarity. Almost the whole population was out on a pleasure excursion to Independence four miles below Defiance, which ia the lowest point the boats will reach for a few weeks. A meeting was organized and the following with other resolutions passed. .w1

Resolved, That iu the completion of the western division of the Wabash & Erie Canal we bail a foil triumph over every obstacle, and that nothing now can prevent our rapid progress in improvement,

Resolved, That to the enterprising contractors on this line we owe a debt of gratitude for tbeir steadfast perseverence to the final' completion of tbeir work.

FROM MEXICO.

Release of all the santa re prisoaets^ The schr Laura Virginia, in days from Tampico, brings to tbe editors of the New Orleans Bulletin dates from tbe city of Mexico to the 18th oil-

The most interesting item of news ia that of the release from imprisonment ot all the Prisonera taken in tbe unfortunate Sams Fe Expedition. Gen. Santa Am celebrated his birth dey by this ect of grace. A letter from the American Minister states that they will all be sent home in tbe first American vessel of war that touches at Vera Cm The prisoner* were released on condition that if taken again in arms against Mexico the* shall suffer death.

The speech of Santa Ana. at the opening of the Ceogtem, represents tbe country as recovering from its late embarrassments. Tbe same bold fautgoage is med towards Texas as formerly, b«t the release of the Santa Fe prisoners is considered aa an indication that all hope of the re-cooqaest of Texas is absndueed-—Betoimer*

FOR THE COURIER.

SEMINARY FUND.

Contlriiction of the Constitution by the Genk eral Assembly of 1840-41. ,, Those "wise ones" spoken of by A. B. C. in the "Express" of last week, still persist giving their new-fangled views in relation td the Seminary Fund,to the people, the Constitution and the Laws to the contrary notwithstanding. For the last time, they are now referred to an "Act prescribing the duties of county Auditor, approved Feby. 12, 1841"

''T .*

Here are three separate and distinct ayowals by the Legislature, that certain fines are for the use of the county Seminary, (not a township Seminary nor county Seminaries} but the one proper Seminary in each comity.

Of course this, shows at once that the Seminary Fabd oarmot (under "riie ioatmtilgrtatr the legislatures have always given to theConstitution) be parcelled out to the townships.

Now what will these gentlemen say to this? Are they prepared to arise in their proper places in the General Assembly and introduce a bill, asking that the Seminary fund shall be given to tbe townships? And what success would they probably meet with?— Would it be very creditable to Vigo County that her members should exhibit on any occasion such lamentable ignorance of the spirit and letter of the Constitution? Let them acknowledge (if not now anyhow, after the election) that this was all gammon and intended only to make votes, and if this fund must be scattered to the four winds, let them come up to the scratch at once, and attack the Constitution, for the evil complained of is in that instrument and no place else, and that is the only place to srek a redress of grievancos.

FOR TIIB COURIER.

Citizens of Vigo courtty it is time you were up and doing. You will loose by idleness and inaction the fruit of the victory of 1840. Our ancient enemy, the Locofocos,arein the field-, straining every nerve to gain the victory. Shall it be said that Old Vigo, that has vindicated the Whig cause, through good and through evil report, will now prove recreant to her principles? Let every man then be at his post doing his duty. There never was a time which so imperiously demands the united and determined efforts of tbe Whigs as the present. What, let me ask—are we not daily witnessing? A Whig Congress—with a majority in each House is laboring night and liay, to pass measures of relief to a suffering people. No sooner is a law of relief or a favorite Whig measure passed—but the President vetoes it and forbids its becoming a law. The Government organ too, pours out a torrent of abuse upon the Whig majorities in Congress—Accuses, the Whig members of attempting to embarrass the Executive—and with legislating with a view to render the President obnoxious to the Locofoco party. While on the other hand, the Locofoco party eulogise the President for his opposition to the Whigs. Because we have been betrayed, because treachery and meanness characterize the acting President, shall we lie supinely on our backs, and hug the delusive phantom of hope? Shall we suffer the Locofocos to bind ushnnd and focfi—to fill every office in the gift of the people—and possess all the emolument and influence which official station gives? If these are to be the glorious fruits of a twelve years struggle, and the triumphant victory of 1840 —amen to the Whig party. But let us not despond. We believe the principles we advocated in 1840 were the true principles of our government. They met the approbation and were affirmed by an overwhelming majority of the American people—Our principles are the same now as in 1840. And we who sustained them then will sustain them now, with a firmness and energy which no treachery can abate or diminish.

Let us begin at the root. Let us luy the foundation strong and deep. Let us elect men to office who are firm and consistent Whigs. Who can give their heart and their hand to Whig measures—not a mere cold and formal support—as it were by compulsion. It is true our political opponents say they will consent to serve us as a matter of grand favor. Kind souls! Serve us!! IIow have you served us for the last ten or twelve years? You have deranged and ruined the best currency in the world. You have plundered fit may safuly be said) the public treasury. You have reduced to bankruptcy and beggary thousands, and tens of thousands of honest citizens. And now forsooth you wish to ride into office on Whig votes. What presumption!

Whigs of Vigo, one and all, come up to the contest. Put forth your strength as in 1840. Lay aside your prejudices-i-your local feelings—your jealousy of country and town. Unite like a band of brothers in one common cause, against your old enemy the Locofocos. .P.Q.Ji^Ucj^O!»i*»an and iUa*iet©*y M^eertain. -v CITIZEN.

•TC TBEiEbPlE VlGOs In announcing my name as a candidate to represent you ih tbe next Legislature of Indiana, I desire that nriy pp&ition, in regard to the oppraisement law, should be perfectly understood. Secret whispers identify me as farorable to a repeal of the existing law, and with having been brought out by those who favor that repeal, are abroad in parts of the county. Now, fellow-citizens, let me assure you that berth statements are positively untrue. 1 can appeal to you to say. whether, in the intercourse which I have had with you, I have given any reason to infer that 1 am, or have been, two-faced in my dealings, publicly or privately. Tlio slander is designed to defent my election, and it is for you to judge between these whispers and my positive declarations. 1 will now speak for my* self. A1 am a decided friend of the appraisement law, as it exists, and will vote and labor to preserve it, or some other plan, even more fx- 1

torable to the debtor, if such bettor plan can be carried* Under no circumstances will I-*, vote to uncover the property of the unfortunate, at this time, because I can see nothing in such a course but ruin to my fellow-citi-zens. My office of Sheriff has enabled me to see and understand what are the wants of the •... people, and I would be less than human if 1 could tend myself to any man, or any set off men, to oppress or injure them» These aro my opinions, put on records in black and white, and I am willing that they should be weighed against the interested whiskers of p* those who seek to dufeat me. I

I am the candidate of no clique and nocau- |prcus—have had no agency in any such coh* claves (if any exist,) and feel as independent as those who talk more about it.

In regard to my political course, it is weH s-

understood, and I need not say any thing about it but having been solicited by persona from various parts of the county, it is their p. right to call on me, at all public places, to jv learn my opinions in every matter involving my Representative duty. I am above concealment, and desire to aflbrd you all nn unreserved knowledge of what I am and what I mean to be at Indianapolis, ifl get there.

If my course of conduct, heretofore, has met your approbation, it will afford me pleasure to receive a renewal of your confidence, and I make this promise, that, if elected, I will represent the people—the whole people-— and not squads or caucuses.

July 14, 1842. JOHN STRAIN.^

TO THE VOTFRS OF VIGO COUNTY Two of the gentlemen, whoso names were recommended by a convention of Delegates from part of tho Townships of the county, as candidates to represent you in the next Leg-, islatuieof this Stale, having declined a canvass, many of my friends from different parts of the country, huve requested me to have my name announced for that responsible station. I do now (although at a late day in the canvass) offer my name for your considoration on the first Monday of August next and. if elected, will endeavor to serve you honestly and faithfully, and will, at all timos, keep in view and urge the particular inlerests of my constituents, so far as rimy be consistent with the public good. I ', ,1

In regard to the present Valuation Larw, I will say that, unless some baiter relief con be offered, I will go decidedly to sustain it.
